A Christmas Carol

“The city clocks had only just gone three, but it was quite dark already: it had not been light all day: and candles were flaring in the windows of the neighbouring offices, like ruddy smears upon the palpable brown air. The fog came pouring in at every chink and keyhole, and was so dense without, that the houses opposite were mere phantoms…”

Directed by former Globe Associate Tim Carroll, and with puppetry from Mandarava, Dominic’s one-man performance of A Christmas Carol plays each December in London.

This 60 minute adaptation follows close to Dickens’ classic narrative: revolving around a central puppet of Scrooge.

Since 2011, the Charles Dickens Museum has hosted performances of the show at Dickens’s London home in Doughty St.

"I was spellbound by Dominic Gerrard's one-man show of A Christmas Carol. It's the perfect way to begin your Christmas."

Lucinda Dickens Hawksley

"Dominic Gerrard masterfully captures Dickens's memorable characters
in a magical evening of story-telling. I watched transfixed and left the theatre thoroughly moved by this unforgettable tale."

Oliver Dimsdale, Filter Theatre

"I came away transfixed and am even writing this with a smile on my face ... please please please go to see this if you can."

The Public Reviews

"Gerrard gives a dramatic performance of Dickens’ Christmas classic, bringing Scrooge's torment at the hands of the ghosts – and ultimate redemption – powerfully to life."

Time Out

"Gerrard is such a gifted and charismatic performer ... The contrast of emotions he sweeps the audience through is quite astonishing – we’re feeling boisterous one minute, and experiencing Scrooge’s palpable loneliness the next.”
